"Not as a Sweetheart (But Just as a Friend)" Lyrics

Please don't hang up on me for I just call to say
That I'm leaving and I won't be back again
And ask you if you'd see me and be with me one more time
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend
Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me
But just for the old time sake leave me a memory do this for me
And please would you take my hand and just kiss me once again
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend
Well thanks darling anyway no you can't break your date
And plans can't wait and broken hearts can't mend
So bye bye be a sweet girl and think of me sometime
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend
Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me
But just for the sake of my aching heart
Say something sweet to me for I used to be
Your one and your only love and it hurts to see it end
Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend
Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend
